Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich," a Life Changing Book

This review of Napoleon Hill "Think and Grow Rich" is a personal motivational development and self-help book. Let's start by mentioning this book is ranked on Business Week Magazine's Best-Seller List. Think and Grow Rich is the sixth best-selling paperback business book seventy years after it's first publication. This alone I think shows this is a "Must Read" book if you want to make a six figure income.

"Think and Grow Rich" itself was founded on some of Napoleon Hill earlier work in "The Law of Success". It is a culmination of more then twenty years of research. Fortunately, Napoleon Hill under the direction of Andrew Carnegie had close association with many wealthy people who achieved great success in their lives well above the six figure income you are reaching for. Some examples referenced are from Henry Ford, William Wrigley, Jr., George S. Parker, and Theodore Roosevelt to mention a few of the 500 millionaires he interviewed. He was able to study these achievers & developed the 16 "laws" of success" intended to be applied by anyone who wants to achieve success in their life.

There are many versions of Napoleon Hill "Think and Grow Rich" published, but in 2004, Ross Cornwell revised "Think and Grow Rich," The Original Version, Restored and Revised. This edition has restored it to its original content for the reader. There are slight revisions & this contains the first comprehensive end notes, index, & appendix was added. This is the first time Napoleon Hill book has ever contained these sections.

As I started to read "Think and Grow Rich" this quote jumped out at me. I felt that it was true for so many of us. As I face my own struggle to keep going with affiliate marketing.

"Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach".

This statement makes you want to push harder to get past that hurdle so you win in the end making that six figure income.

How to Think Like a Billionaire Entrepreneur on the Go - A Book Review

If you are a small business entrepreneur, then you probably have dreams of making it big. And you wouldn't be the first. No, not every entrepreneur scores it big, but most want to. There really is nothing like running your own company, and we all know there's no easy way. It's hard work, and it's harder today than ever before with all the regulations, licenses, taxes, and competition, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.

The other day I was discussing this with a friend from New Zealand who is a business consultant, and a darn good one at that. We got to talking about the various business books that each of us had read, and the recommendations that we make to clients of our consulting practices. One book that he highly recommends is actually a book that I own as well. Yes, it is a book that I have recommended, and I very much enjoyed reading. The name of the book is;

"Screw It Let's Do It - Lessons in Life" by Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Books, London, England, (2006), 128 pages, ISBN: 978-75351-1099-5.

Yes, you've obviously heard of Sir Richard Branson President of Virgin Everything. He's into marketing, mobile phones, airlines, private space flight, energy drinks, clothing lines, and just about anything that anyone would ever want. He is successful because he doesn't do BS, and he looks around at what is needed. He has a dynamic personality, and he often throws caution to the wind, and is undeterred by challenges and problems that occur economically, socially, or with regards to regulations.

He is not afraid of the competition, he loves competition. He is not afraid of irate customers, he turns them into loyal followers because he listens, and he acts on information and intelligence which he gathers from the frontline. It is said that Virgin is a wonderful place to work, and it is one of the strongest brand names in Europe. Sir Richard Branson is obviously a showman, and he refuses to give up and he's not afraid to Go For It!

Is my contention that you can learn a lot from reading this book, understanding the man, and the entrepreneur inside yourself. The funny thing is as do, you will probably see psychological similarities between you and Sir Richard Branson, and that's because these are similarities that are shared by most all successful and hard-working entrepreneurs. I highly recommend that you buy and read this book and you think about it and consider all the facts that are put forth.

Think and Grow Rich Review

Think and Grow Rich should be required reading for all entrepreneurs. Although it was originally published in 1937, a quick reread shows that its philosophy has stood the test of time. The content of this book is just as relevant today as it was when it was published near the end of the Great Depression. "Think and Grow Rich" was inspired by Andrew Carnegie, one of the wealthiest individuals in the world at the time, who disclosed his formula of personal success to Napoleon Hill. Hill went on to interview more than 500 very wealthy men do discover their personal secrets and philosophies of success. From his research, Hill went on to identify the similarities in the philosophies of these magnates and assemble the ultimate "what-to-do" and "how-to-do-it" manual for personal achievement.

The book is not only for those who want to achieve financial success, but for anyone who needs a breakthrough in order to achieve a personal accomplishment, whether it is financial, technical, physical, mental, emotional, or even habitual. One of my favorite passages of "Think and Grow Rich", that I immediately committed to memory upon reading, is taken from the second chapter entitled "Desire, The Starting Point of All Achievement, The First Step Toward Riches" Hill states, "Every human who reaches the age of understanding of the purpose of money wishes for it. Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches, with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches." Hill then goes on to list the six ways to turn desires into gold. It was at that point that I was immediately hooked, not only because of his writing style, but because every chapter was teeming with lists and how-to's on various topics of achievement and success.

This is not to say that Think and Grow Rich is simply a book of lists. On the contrary, the lists are usually generalized summaries of the preceding passages, and they typically paraphrase and present the moral or lesson of the story of an individual or group who was able to accomplish a seemingly impossible task by 1) taking control of their mindset, 2) creating a definite plan, 3) persisting until success, and 4) not accepting failure as an option. As an example, in the chapter on Desire, before presenting the six ways to turn desire into gold (or more symbolically, riches) Hill tells the story of Edwin C. Barnes. Barnes was a man who at one point in his life would be considered a tramp by any reasonable person's standards, yet through a burning desire and definite plan, created a partnership with Thomas Edison five years after deciding that was his goal.

As he revealed how he accomplished this feat he stated, "There is but one thing in this world that I am determined to have, and that is a business association with Thomas A. Edison. I will burn all bridges behind me, and stake my entire future on my ability to get what I want." It was through this dogged determination he went from a man who a) did not personally know Thomas Edison and b) did not have enough money to pay railroad fare to Orange, New Jersey, to a partner of Edison's as the chief distributor and marketer of the Edison Dictating Machine, which was a new office device Edison had recently perfected. Think and Grow Rich is the result of over 20 years of research by Napoleon Hill, who studied and interviewed over 500 of the wealthiest individuals in the world in order to learn their secrets to obtaining financial success. The list of subjects reads like a Who's Who of the Industrial Revolution and Political Landscape of the early twentieth century.

Those that have read "Think and Grow Rich" in the past (before 2004) will be pleased to learn that the book is now being published in unabridged format, presenting a higher fidelity of Mr. Hill's original writing and including a lot of material and whole sections that had not been previously released in the Fawcett Crest Version that was published in 1960. I have not yet read this latest edition, having read the Fawcett Crest Edition several times, however I understand it to be very favorably received. This Tribeca Books Original Classic Edition is in my queue of Kindle books to read in order to glean even more nuggets from Mr. Hill that may have not been included in the Fawcett Crest Edition. Whether you have never picked up Napoleon Hill's writings, or you are due for a reread like I am, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of "Think and Grow Rich."
